There are more people in New
York city than there are in six
States / could name. There are
100000 people living in New York
city below Fourteenth street. New
York is the most crowded city in
the world. For its 100000 inhab-
itants it has $4,000 dwelling houses.
London with 100000 has 100000
dwellings, and Paris with 100000
has 100000 houses. 1t is a refuge
for all the paupers and the filth of
the world, and to remedy this it
should have the right to govern
itself-ErtrGct from Recent
Speech in the Legislature at AlbaRy.

NO PROFIT IN FARMING.

Since our last issue the following
statement has been made to US by
one of the most successful and en-
terprising farmers in this county:
NV farm is considered one of the
most desirable in the county. Some
other places, having fancy improve
ments, would bring more money but,
for the purpose of farming with
profit, my place is as desirable as
any of them. / am in the prime of
life and, one year with another, my
crops are rather larger than those of
my neighbors. My farm is worth
$4,000, and my farming property,
including stock, will bring $4,000.
had seventy acres in wheat last
year, and reserving two hundred
bushels for seed and bread, sold
nineteen hundred bushels at seventy
five cents. Ny other crops were
considerably above the average My
neighbors admit that / raise more
stuff than any Of them. Few men
work as hard as / do. l have only
four in family, and am as economi-
cal as any man in circumstances can
be if he would preserve his standing
in the community. have thought
this matter over veil, and calculated
on every point. / say that if had
debt the interest on which was
81, 200, must break; it will be no
use TO fight it. In other words the
net profit on my farm and farm
property, worth $4,000, together
with my own labor, does not exceed
81, GOO year. Yet l am told the
farming community must be taxed
in order to foster, in order to pet, in
order to confer favors upon the class
engaged in commercial pursuits. l
am told that corporations ought to
be favored by the tax laws in order
to encourage enterprise. When |
was a boy you occasionally saw the
family of a Virginia farmer enjoying
themselves at fashionable watering
places or at such hotels as the Ar
lington, in Washington, or the Fifth
Avenue, in New York. You doon't
see them now. Persons whovisit the
cities tell me that it is common to see
servants in livery but they are never
the servants Of farmer

FREE PASSES.
respect,

A correspondent calls attention to
the suggestive fact that only s Cam
den men voted for the bill to pro-
hibit free passes, while every one Of
the anti Camden men in the House
voted for the bill; they not only
voted for it, but every one Of them
earnestly urged its passage.

lection only. The scheme was to
make this demonstration and then
elect Mr.. Camden on last Saturday.
the 18th.
The Republican caucus was APP
pointed to meet on Friday evening
and the Tribune would not be pub
lished until the next morning. The
proposed editorial. which was to ap-
pear in Saturday mornings Tribune,
was therefore printed, word for word
in the Wheeling Register Of Friday
morning. In other words, an edito-
rial which was to appear in a Re
publican paper on Saturday was
mailed on Wednesday to the Regis
tea. In order for this matter to
have reached Wheeling in time to
appear in Friday mornings Register
it must have left Charleston at least
as early as as $50 Thursday morn
ing. 1t is true, that the Register
gives this editorial asa special
telegram, but we know perfectly
we'll that this IS a Misrepresentation
and that it was not telegraph. In
the first place, the editorial was con-
siderably over $4,000 words and the
paper could not afford the expense.
In the second place, when matter OF
this character is telegraphed there is
always a difference between the orig
inal and the telegraph copy. We
have before us the Charleston Tri.
bune and also the Register; ny a
comparison of the two, it conclus-
lively appears that the original was
used by the Register,-even the
punctuation is the same.
Our space is now too limited to explain
the part that was to be played in this plot
by the IRteLIi0encer.
This deep laid plot did not sue
coed, but the citizens Of this State
should pause and consider whether
papers like the Tribune and Regis
ter are safe guides. Let the people
consider what will become of this
State if such papers are in posses
sion of the avenues to the public
ear. We do not know how this
strikes others, but, for ourselves, it
is incomprehensible why politicians
cringe and tremble before the Wifi
cations of a venal press. We need
in front men of convictions; who are
not afraid of newspaper clamOr. 1t
is the duty of all thoughtful men TO
teach their less intelligent neighbors
to distinguish between newspapers
which are used by designing men to
deceive their readers and those other
newspapers which are conducted by
men of truth, Of honor and of self
res pect.

PENSION PLUMBER AND BLUM
DER.



Condensed from n. Y. World.
The pension list for the current
year amounts to s76,OOO,OOO. At
three per cent. this represents
public debt of over $2,5OO,OOO,OOO.
The highest point ever reached by
the public debt was in 1866 when it
amounted to s2,776,OO0,OOO. If the
Pauper Pension bill, recently vetoed
by the President, had become law
the pension charge would have rep
resented the interest on a public
debt of over $S,OOO,OOO,OOO.
The fixed charges against the
Treasury on these accounts stand
thus at present:
Interest on the funded debt
about ..-......-.... .-..-..... S4o,OOO,OOO
Pension list .................... 100000

This represents debt of over $4,-
OOO,OOO,O00 st 3 per cent. 1t ex-
ceeds the maximum Of our war debt
by 1924, 100000, and overtops the
public debt of Great Britain as fol-
lows:
United States principal sum $4,000, 0O0, 900
Public debt of Great Britain 3,624,O96,So7

Those who understand the subject
thank the President for his veto 'of
this law. fit had passed, the reve
nue. required for interest and pen
sions would have been $160,000,0O0.
The total net ordinary expenses Of
the Government for all purposes, in
GLIDING interest, were as follows in
the three years before the war: 1859,
SOC, 1856, $50; 1860, $50, O56, 754; 1861,
$62,6I6,055. The pension list alone
already exceeds the average Of those
three years by $19,OOO,OO0.
Is it not time to stop?

Time Wasted--Counties Which Roll
Up the Democratic Majority in the
State VIII Not Endorse Standard
Oil Man.
Especial to the world.l
CHARLESTON. Feb. 11.-To-day
witnessed the sixteenth balloting in
this State for Senator. The feeling
is growing intense on all sides, and
the air is filled with charges and
countercharges, alleging all kinds of
undue Influences. When the two
houses met in joint session to-day,
Senator Morris Rep. put in nomi
nation Gen. DuvalI. and said in his
nominating speech that methods
were being used which are danger
Gus, and that certain allegations
made by a prominent Republican
paper, to the effect that the Repub-
leans had decided to aid in the
election of Mr., Camden, were false
and inexcusable idiOcy. He charged
that some one Of the Republicans
who are weak had started these re
ports without foundation. and as
serted that there was atraitOr in the
caucus who had been paid for giving
away the secrets. He denounced
all rumors as false and said if the
secrets of the party were to he given
out for paw, be could not understand
why a party organ should deal in
such falsehoods in order to sell its
paper at the expense of the party's
good standing. If the opposition
believed that the forty-one Republi
cans would violate their principles,
let them give the Republicans a
show and the next Senator would be
from that party. Senator Morris
further charged Mr.. Camden with
having used large sums of money in
electing members to the Legislature.
Following the above paragraph is
a long extract from Lucas speech.

The DEMOCRAT is inexora
bly, opposed to a tariff for
the sake of protection only

The DEMOCRAT is not time-sery-
ing, timid newspaper; it is not
afraid to express opinic,s.
The Managers believe that it is
the best policy to publish all the
facts and to influence public opinion
only by appeals to the intelligence
and patriotism of the people.
1t expects to become the trusted
and recognized representative OF De-
mocracy in this State. To this end
we have secured as contributors to
our editorial columns several of the
ablest and best informed men in diff
ferent parts of the State We be-
lieve, and we think its editorial col
umns avouch the fact, that the
DEMOCRAT has behind it as much
painstaking capacity and as much
bold, decisive thought, as any paper
in the land. 1t is very certain that
we have at least three regular con-
tributors whose rank in the intellec
tual world is equal to any in the
country.
The DEMOCRAT is published
at one DOLLAR PER
YEAR.
